Latest Lithium Exploration News

St George Mining has restructured its Lithium Star joint venture, with battery giant Amperex Technology Limited exchanging its 10% JV stake for a 12.5 million shareholding in St George at a 36% premium. This move consolidates lithium exploration under St George while giving ATL exposure to the Araxá niobium-rare earths project and offtake rights on future lithium production.

Solis Minerals has raised A$6 million in a placement strongly backed by institutional investors, including major shareholder PLS Group, to fund imminent drilling at its Brazil Lithium and Cinto Copper projects.

Patagonia Lithium's latest passive seismic survey at the Formentera Lithium Project has uncovered basement depths up to 800m, doubling previous drilling depths and suggesting expanded lithium brine volumes. Ongoing pump tests confirm strong aquifer flow, underpinning an imminent resource upgrade.

Fulcrum Lithium has identified thick, shallow lithium claystone targets at its Dry Canyon project in Nevada, prompting a major claims expansion and plans for maiden drilling.

Solis Minerals is poised to launch diamond drilling at its Mandacaru lithium prospect in Brazil this June, backed by robust geochemical data and expert technical support. Meanwhile, its Cinto Copper Project in Peru has secured final drilling approvals, marking a significant step in the company’s 2026 exploration campaign.

Askari Metals has kicked off a comprehensive Phase 1 field program at its EPL 7626 licence within Namibia's Uis Project, aiming to uncover polymetallic mineralisation including tin and tantalum. The program leverages advanced remote sensing and on-site LIBS analysis to identify buried pegmatites adjacent to a major operating mine.

Fulcrum Lithium’s Phase 3 drilling at Alkali Flats in Nevada reveals extensive, thick lithium mineralisation with grades exceeding 300ppm across a large area, setting the stage for a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

Perpetual Resources has verified a continuous pegmatite system across four trenches at its Mauricio Target within Brazil’s Igrejinha Lithium and Caesium Project, tracing a 167-metre strike open in multiple directions. Assay results are awaited ahead of planned drilling.

Fulcrum Lithium’s latest metallurgical tests at Alkali Flats reveal lithium recovery rates exceeding 90% with promising low-temperature, short-duration leaching methods, expanding processing flexibility ahead of Phase 3 core analysis.

TG Metals is accelerating development at its Lake Johnston Lithium Project amid improved lithium prices, with mining lease applications and resource drilling approvals underway for the Burmeister deposit.

Chariot Resources has broadened its Nigerian lithium acquisition by adding a key small-scale mining licence and converting three leases to mining leases, extending the acquisition timeline and increasing regulatory costs.

Charger Metals has extended spodumene mineralisation at its Medcalf deposit to 700 metres depth, prompting a pending resource upgrade beyond the maiden 8.2Mt @ 1.0% Li2O estimate.
